Corporate governance manages the structures, processes, and relationships that govern how entities are directed and controlled, including boards, committees, directors, officers, and reporting lines. This use case addresses modeling complex governance structures, tracking governance changes over time, understanding relationships between directors and entities, identifying conflicts of interest, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements, and supporting effective corporate governance across entity portfolios.

  • Regulatory requirements — Different jurisdictions have different governance requirements and disclosure obligations
  • Relationship tracking — Understanding relationships between directors, officers, and entities
  • Temporal tracking — Maintaining historical records of governance changes
